Doctor Sylvester Graham Goals
I hated the American society where people benifited from animals for food, clothing, or any other purposes as I am a veganist. Also I'm for people have abstinence for alcohol and especially masturbation. I traveled around the New England area preaching and I wanted to develope a purer mind and body.
Methods
I preached to large groups around the New England area about;
- Veganism
- Being a Vegatarian
- Temperance Movement
- Abstinence for masturbation
- Bathing reguraly
- Being healthy
- Excitement was unhealthy
- To curb lust
Successes
I had many successes such as;
- inenting the Graham Cracker
- getting people to become healthier
- people batheing more often
Practical???
I believe that what I was preaching was practical because I was only trying to better the American society from its wikedness. There were many isssues that were present, wether or not alcohol shhould be legal or not. And I stood firmly against the legalization of it.
Federal Support
My campain would be a lot broader if i had more resources. If President Jackson would support my reforms, people would be flocking towards them by the thousands. Also, the legislation could put some of my ideas as laws; such as making alcohol illegal.
References
John Harvey Kellogg- Kellogg like Graham made a food from whole grains because it is healthier. Also, Kellogg preached about not having a lot of sexual activities.
Dr. A.J. Block- A doctor from New Orleans, after Graham's death, hated the idea of masturbation. Block wrote articles in the newspaper about female masturbation.
